Ian MacKinnon's Gay Hist-Orgy Fest! Parts 1, 2, & 3

For the first time ever all three parts of The Gay Hist-Orgy will play together on one night. In Gay Hist-Orgy Fest performance activist Ian MacKinnon brings the past to life by tracing the history of gay people in ways never before seen on stage.

9:00 PMPart 3: Mondo-MythologicalIan is back to take you on a ride through Gay Mythology! With his time traveling chaps, Ian cruises gay gods from across the globe, looking for a new homosexual myth of meaning to further gay liberation and save the world! Including mythic encounters with: Hercules, Gilgamesh, Horus and Set, Xochipilli, Talking God, Chow Wang, Ganesh, and more.

The Gay Hist-Orgy revives our hidden history in living color, beginning in the ancient world, and tracing the evolution of gay consciousness up to the present day. A tour de force of historical research and theatrical flair, The Gay Hist-Orgy engages current controversies in queer theory while considering fundamental questions of gay meaning: Who are we as a people, and why are we here? In a radical departure from social-constructionist theory, Ian emphasizes our connections to this history through the shared bond of same-sex love.
